Gunsmithing LMT 13.5" with Warcomp Legal?

[Bazooka]

Is anyone able to tell me if a Surefire Warcomp Flash Hider pinned and welded to an LMT 13.5" 308 barrel meets the 16" total length?

The Surefire website shows a length of 2.7" for the muzzle device. .2" to spare... cutting it close.

WARCOMP Flash Hider | Flash Hider / Suppressor Adapter | SureFire

The proprietary design of SureFire’s WARCOMP flash hiders/suppressor adapters provides the best attributes of both devices. WARCOMPs deliver superior flash reduction and significantly reduce muzzle rise, helping to conceal your location, preserve your dark-adapted vision and keep you on target...

You lose .600-.625 in overall length by covering up the threads.

It’s not long enough. LMTs flash hider or a KAC MAMS will get you there.

Thank you.

So none of the Surefire QD suppressor hosts will work?

I'll be the jerk on the indoor range with a compensated 13.5 308 if it will get me there...

Negitave. If you cut a longer barrel down to 14 inches with a pinned 7.62 surefire MD, that will get you over 16". The 13.5 won't get you there.

^My 14” with pinned warcomp is barely over 16”.

13.7 is the ideal length. Youtube it.

@unclemoak Seems to think otherwise.

You are not taking into account the 0.625" of thread overlap in your calculation.

See my previous post in the LMT MWS thread.

A 13.5" barrel can be pinned with either a Sons of Liberty Nox, a Surefire Warcomp (if you use the included thick black spacer), or a Knights Armament MAMS and get you to 16" as measured from the bolt face.

A Surefire Warcomp with the black shim that you need to use.
